Listed here are copies of the scam emails that have been received by sellers on this board, which should help you to identify the emails in question. As I also have items to sell, I too receive these offers and find that being able to recognising them certainly helps. Personally, I ignore them.  Others, who have a different point of view, have resorted to sending these people a reply expressing their feelings on the subject. 

Now do you see why I will not sell you my hi-fi?

Your idea is old, old, old and the warning notices are now posted everywhere (sites for cars, cameras, antiques, cameras - everything). Nobody in Great Britain or America will now accept a cashier's cheque for any purchase from abroad. Please accept the fact that your idea is now completely dead! Kindly also tell your friends in the same game.

Try and do something sensible with your life! I realise you may be very poor, but it is always better to try and earn a living honestly. I know it is hard, but if you succeed, you will not have to live your life in fear of the Police & Jail

Do you have an opinion on this matter and how best to deal with it? If so, let me know what you think and I will post your views here. No bad language please.
